How to do the Lying Leg Walkout
Setup
Lie flat on your back on a mat.
Bend your knees so your feet are flat on the floor, close to your glutes.
Keep your arms relaxed by your sides.
Movement
Lift your hips off the ground to form a bridge posture, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
Once in the bridge position, slowly walk your feet forward, one step at a time, extending your legs until they are nearly straight.
Keep your hips elevated throughout the entire movement; do not let them sag toward the floor.
Once your legs are extended (without locking your knees), slowly step your feet back toward the starting position, maintaining the bridge.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
